    The original comment said nothing about modifying servers or AWS engineers installing random shit. That was you. I responded to "moving binaries around," and you started yapping about change management. Two totally different things. Like obviously if you have a locked down environment, then only install what you need. But this is not what the original poster was referring to specifically.

    ripgrep even specifically calls out this exact use case right in its README: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/?tab=readme-ov-file#wh...

    > You need a portable and ubiquitous tool. While ripgrep works on Windows, macOS and Linux, it is not ubiquitous and it does not conform to any standard such as POSIX. The best tool for this job is good old grep.

    So, you presume too much friendo. Now, go away.

    Yeah I love that ripgrep has a different opinion on UX than grep (your "Can ripgrep replace grep" FAQ is great [0]) if only because the thought you put into it makes me also start thinking about those issues, which is fun. Like, maybe at first you balk at ripgrep not honoring locales, but then I was like, "wait why would I ever, ever want that". This is the kind of, I don't know, joy? Epiphany? Expansion? ... that we get from people like you just building a thing you think is good.
